I just bought a Savage Rascal (single shot youth size .22) for my granddaughter. Is it safe to dry fire, or will the firing pin ding the receiver face? I haven't found anything on the Savage web site or in the manual. Thanks. | ||

I'm not familiar with the Rascal but if you have any #6 screw dry wall inserts they work as a dry fire device for a .22 or empty cases work well. You can even file a notch where the extractor grabs the case if you want to repeatedly fire with out handling the case everytime. A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work. | |||

I wouldn't even though you could........I believe it was one my Encore barrels I pulled the trigger on just to feel it, 3 clicks later it was in the gun shop........(ditto for air guns too) r in w. | |||

I've never seen a rimfire pin break or be damaged from dry firing. | |||

In my situation, it wasn't the firing pin, but what the firing pin struck..that indentation caused cartridges not to be loaded at all until it was ironed out.......r in w. | |||

Some rim fires have a firing pin stop that will limit the forwared travel to just short of the breech face, others don't and would allow the firing pin dent the face and put a burr in the chamber. | |||
